LIVE BENEFICIAL Freshwater PHytopLANKTON
Beneficial phytoplankton is the good guy in your water. Here is how it works, what it does, and why it holds up.
How it works
-Phyto hoards phosphate. Beneficial phytoplankton does not just consume phosphate, it stockpiles it, pulling more out of the water than it needs to grow.
-Phyto grows fast, then eases off. In warm, sunny conditions it multiplies quickly and consumes nutrients all season, then tapers as those nutrients run down.
-It is matched to your water. We select phytoplankton suited to your region and biome, so the culture fits the pond it is going into.
-These are warm-water species, so as the water cools and daylight shortens, the population naturally winds down on its own.
What it does for your water
Feeds the food chain. It is a rich food source for zooplankton, the base of a healthy food web that supports minnows and fish.
Raises dissolved oxygen. As it photosynthesizes it adds oxygen to the water, which the whole ecosystem depends on.
Feeds your soil too. Run through an irrigation pond, it doubles as a soil biostimulant, returning captured nutrients to your turf and fields.
A more productive pond. Balanced nutrients and a working food web make for healthier, more productive water overall.
Why it is easy, and proven
Concentrated and simple. A concentrated formula that is easy to apply, delivered direct to your site.
Built around you. Customizable programs and quantities for your specific water body.
Less work for you. It reduces the hands-on management a healthy pond usually takes.
Cost-effective. A full-season program that competes on price and beats chemicals on results.
Prevention and response. Works as an ongoing preventative program and as a reaction to an active bloom.
Proven results. Backed by real accounts in Colorado lakes, golf ponds, and municipal water.
Two different approaches to a bloom
What is the difference between Hydralife and a chemical algaecide?
An algaecide acts on the algae that is already in the water. Hydralife acts on the nutrients that let it grow. Live beneficial phytoplankton consumes the phosphate, ammonia, and nitrate that harmful blooms depend on, so the bloom is starved of its food source rather than treated after the fact.
Hydralife live phytoplankton
Mechanism. Consumes the phosphate, ammonia, and nitrate that harmful blooms need, and stockpiles more phosphate than it needs to grow.
Duration. Works continuously through the warm season, drawing nutrients down week after week, then winds down on its own as the water cools.
Water use. Treated water stays usable. No closure period for irrigation, livestock, or recreation.
Nutrient load. Nutrients are taken up into living biomass and carried into the food web instead of staying in the water.
Fish and wildlife. Feeds zooplankton, which feed minnows and fry.
Irrigation. The same water doubles as a soil biostimulant when it is applied to turf or crops.
Over time. Nutrient levels come down and stay down, so the water gets harder for cyanobacteria to dominate season over season.
Chemical algaecides
Mechanism. Acts on the algae cells present at the time of application.
Duration. A single knockdown. The effect ends when the application ends.
Water use. Product labels commonly set waiting periods before irrigation, livestock watering, or swimming. Check the label for the specific product.
Nutrient load. The nutrients stay in the pond. Cells break down and release phosphate and ammonia back into the water.
Fish and wildlife. Decomposing algae draws down dissolved oxygen, which is why many labels warn about fish loss after treating a heavy bloom.
Irrigation. Copper based products are known to accumulate in pond sediment over repeated seasons.
Over time. The visible bloom goes away, then returns as nutrients rebuild, so treatment repeats.
Hydralife is not a faster algaecide. It is a different category of treatment. One removes the bloom, the other removes the reason the bloom is there.
